Flag bridge does not necessarily make it a leader variant. For example, <br clear="none">
starbases (S8.27) and some Lyran ships (R11.5). Even leader variants <br clear="none">
don't always have flag bridge - see most DWLs and FLGs. As near as I <br clear="none">
figure, leader variants are marked as such only on the SSD (though <br clear="none">
looking at higher-than-normal Command Ratings for the class can be an <br clear="none">
indicator. Unfortunately, that also captures some PFTs and carriers.) <br clear="none">
See (S8.36); it begins with the most complete definition of a leader <br clear="none">
variant that is off the top of my head.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The RMS (regardless of the number of pods) counts as a Size-Class 2 <br clear="none">
ship. As such, it counts under (S8.331). One would think that (S8.363) <br clear="none">
applies to keep it from being considered as a leader, but the RMS is <br clear="none">
actually a dreadnaught-sized tug variant - which is still not a leader <br clear="none">
variant. (note that the tug pods are never applied against a flagship's <br clear="none">
command rating.)<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The BCH very much is under (S8.333). This also excludes it from being <br clear="none">
considered a leader variant. This also allows the BCH to be included, <br clear="none">
specifically regardless of the inclusion of a Size-Class 2 unit.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
So per (S8.36), the consideration of leader variants falls to the CWL <br clear="none">
and the DWL. The CWL is leading a full squadron of CWs, allowing the DWL <br clear="none">
to be included under (S8.361).<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The above fleet appears legal to me.<br clear="none">
